Master these dietary knowledge points, and diabetics can also "eat and drink well"! Smart diabetics have collected them

In today's era of abundant delicious food, the combination of white rice and chili sauce has undoubtedly become a feast for the taste buds in many people's hearts.

However, the hidden health risks behind this, especially for diabetic patients, cannot be ignored.

Yan Ming, a brain and heart health manager at Hunan Provincial Second People's Hospital (Provincial Brain Hospital), gives an in-depth analysis of this "sweet trap" and provides authoritative new healthy diet options for diabetics.

Re-examining the "love affair with rice" among diabetics

Mr. Li, a lively man in his 40s who came to the stroke screening and follow-up management clinic, has a special liking for white rice on weekdays. He even jokingly said that he "can finish two bowls of rice with one bowl of chili sauce."

However, this seemingly harmless hobby is actually the "invisible pusher" of his blood sugar rise. As a high-carbohydrate food, white rice will be quickly converted into glucose after entering the body. For diabetic patients, excessive intake will undoubtedly increase the burden on the pancreas and affect blood sugar control.

The "sweet" warning of excessive carbohydrates

Diabetes, the "sweet" killer, is actually most afraid of "sweet" excess. When the body cannot effectively process the sugar intake, blood sugar will be like a wild horse that has run away and is difficult to control.

Long-term high blood sugar levels can not only damage blood vessels and nerves, but can also lead to a series of serious complications, such as heart disease, kidney disease, and retinopathy, which greatly reduces the quality of life.

An authoritative new healthy choice, delicious without sacrificing taste

Facing this challenge, the brain and heart health managers of Hunan Second People's Hospital (Provincial Brain Hospital) have carefully planned a series of authoritative new healthy diet strategies for diabetics:

1. A new trend of “mixing and matching” staple foods: It is recommended to add ingredients rich in dietary fiber such as brown rice, oats or beans to white rice. This can effectively slow down the absorption of carbohydrates, stabilize blood sugar fluctuations, and make every meal more reassuring.

2. The "Rainbow Plan" on the plate: Encourage the intake of more vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables and brightly colored fruits and vegetables. They are not only low in calories, but also provide rich vitamins and minerals, help increase satiety, and reduce cravings for staple foods.

3. A “wise move” in choosing sauces: Many sauces on the market contain a lot of hidden sugar and salt, which is not good for diabetics. Therefore, you can choose to make your own sauces, seasoning them with natural seasonings such as vinegar, minced garlic, and coriander, which not only retains the deliciousness but also takes into account health.

4. Chew slowly and enjoy life: It is recommended to slow down the pace of eating and chew every bite of food thoroughly. This will help give the brain enough time to receive the "fullness" signal and avoid overeating.

5. Regular monitoring and scientific adjustment: Emphasize the importance of regular monitoring of blood sugar levels, and adjust diet structure and exercise according to the body's response. At the same time, it is recommended to maintain close communication with the doctor and jointly develop a personalized health management plan.

Zhang Haitao, director of the Endocrinology Department of the Second People's Hospital of Hunan Province (Provincial Brain Hospital), said: "Health is not a sacrifice of food, but a manifestation of wisdom of harmonious coexistence with food." Through the authoritative new healthy diet strategy of the above-mentioned brain and heart health managers, diabetics can effectively control blood sugar while enjoying food and embrace a more colorful and healthy lifestyle.
